Key Factors
- 01 A Special Weather Statement at 5:05 AM EDT reported areas of fog, locally dense with visibility of a quarter mile or less, creating an early-morning visibility hazard.
- 02 Hourly forecast from 7 AM onward shows partly sunny to sunny conditions with precipitation chances at 0% through late afternoon and only 0–3% in the evening.
- 03 Winds are light, generally 5–8 mph from the north, so wind-related driving impacts are minimal.
- 04 Temperatures remain well above freezing, from the upper 60s to low 80s during the day and upper 60s in the evening, so there is no ice risk.
- 05 Visibility values after the alert are not provided, so confidence is slightly reduced regarding how quickly the fog fully cleared.

Recommendation
Avoid or use extra caution during the early morning fog period, especially around 5:05 AM through roughly 9:00 AM if fog lingers. Safer driving windows are late morning around 10:00 AM–12:00 PM and evening around 6:00 PM–9:00 PM, when conditions are dry, winds are light, and no significant hazards are forecast.
